What workouts are best for getting stronger, looking bigger, and getting cut?!


Question: What workouts are best for getting stronger, looking bigger, and getting cut.?
My roommate and I were having a discussion while lifting the other day about what workouts are best for different purposes. My friend is trying to get bigger while I am trying to get more cut. We discussed the following workouts: High reps/lower weights, Low reps/high weights.
We also debated whether compound workouts or isolated workouts were better. From your own experience, what workouts are best at doing what, not limited to the ones we talked about. But if you do list a different one, please explain it. Thanks.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Yes lower reps high weight gains more strength, and high reps low weight increases endurance. But if your looking to get big or if your looking to get cut up....look no further than what your eating. Too much emphasis gets put on your workout.....regardless of your workout, its what your feeding you body that's going to determine what size you get. If he does 4-5 reps and double the weight and goes home and eats 1500 calories a day and you do more reps and less weight and get 3000 good calories, your gonna get bigger and hes gonna get more cut up!!...Sorry, but it really is that simple.Health Question & Answer

Low Reps / High Weight for mass gain.
High Reps / Low Weight for retaining muscle while cutting. If you are cutting appropriately you will naturally notice that your ability to lift will decrease over time. The rate of your decline is a good indicator to how accurately you're cutting. If you are losing strength fast - eat more. If you are not ever going down, well, then you are not cutting.

I think isolated or compound does not matter so long as you stay true to the first thing mentioned here. Do not compound some exercises for low reps if you're cutting.

I believe one of the main reasons to not utterly destroy your muscles (which low reps/high weight does) while cutting is that the calorie deficit will make recovery very difficult and prolonged.

Lower reps with heavy weights. The body is somewhat simple. The body repairs itself when you break the muscle down. The heavier the weight the more muscle you break down. You can only do the heavier weight for less reps. Higher reps cause your muscle to build up lactic acid. That is the pain and burn. You are able to break more muscle down with lower reps and less lactic acid.Health Question & Answer
